Hello.. I am not a doctor, but I hope my answer will be helpful to you! Because my boyfriend also has a deviated nasal septum, before he had surgery, I have been searching here about deviated nasal septum. Everything, but I always feel that there are relatively few actual answers "Haha", so I will tell everyone if I see friends in need!
My boyfriend had a deviated septum surgery on February 24th. , anyway, only one of his noses can ventilate in winter. He always thought it was rhinitis. Everyone said that rhinitis cannot be cured, so he never went to the hospital for examination.
It was also because of accidental Opportunity, I mentioned it when I was chatting with my family. If I get old and get sick, if there is phlegm in my throat but I can't breathe through my nose... I might be suffocated to death - maybe our imagination is too strong, but think about it , it really might happen, and I was still worried, so I went to the hospital for a checkup. They said it was a deviated nasal septum and that surgery was needed... (Go buy a medical insurance in advance before the surgery, it costs about 200, and there is a free physical examination. , they can’t find out there’s something wrong with your nose, and you can get more reimbursement if you do have surgery)
The doctor said that a deviated nasal septum can cause memory loss and various rhinitis, anyway. It was so scary~ So I decided to have the surgery!
My boyfriend’s symptoms are similar to yours. He has a stuffy nose, basically one hole is blocked and the other is blocked. It’s extremely painful to sleep at night!! It’s also the case with a cold. ..My nose feels full of runny nose but I just can’t wake up..
Before his surgery, I also searched on Baidu.. The general situation of the surgery or the anesthesia.. Many people said that local anesthesia is better. ..But our local hospital provides general anesthesia, which should be said to be intravenous anesthesia.. According to my boyfriend's description, you are given an intravenous drip and then put on an oxygen mask. After about 4 breaths, the person falls asleep and becomes unconscious. , when he woke up, the operation had already been performed. There was no pain after waking up from anesthesia. The doctor said that the hard bone in his nose was corrected, and then the cartilage was removed and he waited for a new one to grow. The young man recovered from the surgery. It's faster. I suggest... if you are prepared for surgery, do it early. Recovery will be faster`
You are not allowed to eat or get up within 6 hours of the operation~ After 6 hours I can only drink some porridge. I can't bite liquid food such as steamed eggs, for fear of the wound opening. After the operation, it took about 2 days to remove the 2 pieces of cotton stuffed in the nostril. There will be bleeding...but it's normal. You can't eat hot things. You should sleep facing up. You can't catch cold at night. Anyway, pay attention to rest. Probably the third day of the operation is the day when the cotton is removed. Basically, I don't feel anything~' I felt a little dizzy in the first two days... Technology is so advanced nowadays. My boyfriend said that his nose didn't hurt at all after the surgery. He didn't feel anything at all... Unless he accidentally touched it and it hurt... otherwise he really didn't know he had had an operation. Don't worry!
Don't worry about losing your appearance...This operation is performed from inside the nostril..The operation is performed using a nasal speculum, so the surface of the nose cannot be seen at all~!! p>
